School committee approves overnight boys hockey trip to Connecticut
Summary
The committee unanimously approved an overnight trip for the Smithfield High School boys hockey team to Ridgefield and Middletown, Connecticut. The trip departed after school and included appropriate chaperones, buses and parental permission.
The Smithfield School Committee approved an overnight trip for the high school boys hockey team to Ridgefield and Middletown, Connecticut, departing after school on Jan. 17 and returning late Saturday.
A school official said the trip is an annual event and that required paperwork had been completed, including parent permission slips, chaperone arrangements, bus transportation and insurance documentation. The athletic director and the team's head coach, Mr. Jackson, told the committee the trip follows policy and is well organized.
Committee members expressed concern about late notice; staff said the coach submitted paperwork to the athletic director on Dec. 20 but the superintendent's office only received it after the prior meeting due to holiday schedules, so the trip could not be considered earlier. The committee approved the trip by voice vote.
The committee did not record a roll-call tally in the meeting excerpt.
